How to cook Ginger Soy Steamed Fish

Prepare your steamer.

Combine soy sauce, wine, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix until sugar is dissolved.

Place the fish on a platter, preferably for serving the fish once cooked. Place the ginger and leeks on top of the fish. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the fish.

Place fish in the steamer and steam the fish for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how large the fish is. Remove from the steamer and garnish with additional green leeks. Serve while hot.
